How To Prepare For The Hottest Month Of The Year

7/1/2023 (Permalink)

Keep your family safe this summer by maintaining your home before inclement weather approaches.

Preparing for Independence Day is not the only thing you should be planning for. As the hottest month of the year approaches, you should consider your home too. Don’t know where to start, SERVPRO can help with that.

Maintenance Is Key

Always check to ensure appliances are working properly such as your fridge, freezers, and air conditioners. A leak or default can happen at any time. Maintaining repairs during cold winters is just as important in the summer. Ensure insulation is up to par. This will keep the cool air in and more hot air outside where it belongs. You can always add insulation with the insulation you already have in place.

Fourth of July Preparation

According to The Zebra, over 18,000 fires are started due to fireworks. SERVPRO understands that accidents happen when you’re having fun with your family. Firecrackers can malfunction and cause property damage. Having a fire extinguisher handy as well as a bucket of water can help you avoid possible incidents. To use a fire extinguisher correctly, PASS:

• Pull the pin
• Aim low at the base of the fire
• Squeeze the handle slowly
• Sweep the nozzle side to side

Smoke damage from a firecracker going through a window? No problem! SERVPRO specializes in fire damage, water damage, mold restoration, and storm damage. It’s best to get the damage assessed as soon as possible.
